Kate, we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to get rid of your married moniker now that you’re officially divorced from Jon, but a TLC rep says it isn’t going to happen!

If you were Kate Gosselin, wouldn’t you be ready for a fresh start? When we heard that the octomom was going to start off 2010 by dropping even more “Gosselin” from her life and going back to her maiden of “Kreider”, we gave Kate a big ol’ round of applause.

However, a TLC spokesperson says that although she may have gotten rid of the hubby, the Jon and Kate Plus 8 star is still a Gosselin through and through.

“It’s untrue, it’s not an option,” says the rep.

Bummer. Now that Kate is getting her own show on TLC, we were guessing she’d be ready to get rid of ALL her dead wood!
